Meat Cutlets



Ingredients
Chicken/mutton/beef ½ kg
Onion 2 medium size chopped finely
Potatoes 3 medium size
Ginger 1 inch piece chopped finely
Green chilly chopped 2 or 3 according to taste
Garam masala ½ teaspoon
Coriander leaves chopped ¼ cup
Curry leaves few
Salt
Oil


How to prepare
Cook meat first.
Cook meat with ginger garlic paste 2 teaspoons , garam masala 1 teaspoon, pepper powder 2 teaspoon or chilly powder 2 teaspoons, turmeric powder 1 teaspoon, and salt. Reduce water by cooking uncovered for not to lose the taste.
After cooked, grind the meat only for few seconds to make it crushed. Or you can use minced meat for this.

Next boil potatoes, remove skin and mash.

Then heat oil.
Sauté onion.
When onions are transparent, sauté ginger and green chilly.
Stir for few seconds.
Then add coriander leaves, chopped curry leaves, garam masala and salt to this.
Add mashed potatoes and meat to this.
Mix well with hands.
Check salt.
Make balls and press between palms.
Make sure the edges are not broken.

For frying
Bread crumbs 1 cup
Egg 1

Break egg.
Dip the sides of cutlet in this.
Then roll it in the bread crumbs.
Keep in a tray.
Once you finished preparing cutlets deep fry them.

You can keep them in the freezer without frying if you want to fry them later.

You can use maida instead of bread crumbs and only egg white instead of using whole egg. So the oil will not foam while frying.
